What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Verse 1

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Ev'rything to God in pray'r
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in pray'r

Chorus

What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Him
For He knows us and He holds us in His hands
And His grace is never failing
And His love without an end
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Him

Verse 2

Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in pray'r
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in pray'r

Verse 3

Blessed Saviour You have promised
You will all our burdens bear
May we ever Lord be bringing
All to You in earnest pray'r
Soon in glory bright unclouded
There will be no need for pray'r
Rapture praise and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there
